This antibody recognises porcine CD11R3, a 155kD cell surface marker which is a member of the alpha integrin family. CD11R3 has a similar expression pattern to the human CD11b marker, being expressed on granulocytes, monocytes and alveolar macrophages, but not on lymphocytes, eythrocytes or platelets. Clone 2F4/11 is reported to block phagocytosis of complement-opsonised zymosan particles by polymononuclear granulocytes and alveolar macrophages (1).
